Fastest Route to Citizenship by Nationality
find_fastest_citizenshipNaturalisation periods and NATIONALITY-BASED FAST TRACKS, verified against the enacted statute. Pass nationality (ISO-3166 alpha-2 of the passport held) to rank covered jurisdictions by how soon THAT nationality may apply for citizenship — e.g. an Ibero-American national reaches Spanish citizenship in 2 years instead of 10 (Codigo Civil art. 22.1), a CPLP national reaches Portuguese citizenship in 7 instead of 10 (Lei 37/81 art. 6 as amended by Lei Organica 1/2026), a Samoan citizen lawfully resident in New Zealand has an immediate entitlement with no presence test at all (Citizenship (Western Samoa) Act 1982 s 7(1)). Pass cc instead for one jurisdiction in full, including the ordinary baseline, who gets NO reduction, and any transitional regime. Periods are qualifying residence before an application may be made and exclude processing time. Coverage is narrow by design — a jurisdiction appears only once its statute has been read in full, so absence means unverified, never that no fast track exists.
